A civil restraining order, meaning one where it is requested by an individual, isn't a criminal proceeding, and thus public defenders don't apply.
If the R.O. is part of a criminal case against you, and is ordered by the court as part of the criminal case, you can request a public defender and if you qualify, they will address the order along with the rest of the case.
